Re: [QUAD-L] Slippery slopes to making it personal

[Jim Lubin]

Dan, that's fine. Your friend made his own choice not to continue living in that condition after it had happened to him. I fully support that right. I did say, "many (maybe most) decide they want to continue living", not necessarily all. If my quality of life was different I might chose not to continue living either.

In a case where there is a question as to what an individuals wishes are and they are unable to express what their wishes are then we should error on the side of life.

So he quit trying to eat or drink, gave up intrest in anything and died less than a few months later........SO NOT ALL WANT TO LIVE WITH A DIMINISHED QUALITY OF LIFE>>>>>I KNOW CAUSE THIS WAS MY FRIEND.
